Even though I've been practicing yoga for a few years now, I’m not ashamed to say that I'm just okay at it (and if I’m being honest, "okay" is probably a generous assessment). Despite my best efforts, I remain extremely inflexible, which means that instructors are constantly adjusting even my basic Downward Dog. But I struggle through Vinyasa Flow once a week in part because I know that yoga can offer impressive health benefits, from helping to relieve stress and anxiety to improving flexibility (here's hoping). But mostly, I keep going back because I love Savasana.
For the unfamiliar, Savasana (also known as corpse pose) is the final restorative pose in most yoga classes that involves lying flat on your back with your palms facing up. It may sound like the simplest pose there is, but don’t be fooled—"just lying there" is more difficult than it looks.
